I tried switching from Jerboa to Voyager, but I have the weirdst issue with Voyager. I use the back button at the bottom of my phone to go back from posts to the main list. Unfortunately, after using RIF for so long, or SOMETHING, I can’t kick this habit where I press back too many times and the app closes, and I lose my place, and have to re-open and continue scrolling from the top. Maddening, and I don’t know how to fix it. v.v
Boost. One-time cheap payment to get rid of ads. No subscription like Sync (which is otherwise also a great app; it was not subscription based when it was available for Reddit).
Sync has a one time payment to get rid of ads as well. The subscription is for cloud services, if you want that stuff. I didn’t, so all I paid for was to remove ads.
Yeah that’s what made me jump ship to Boost - I sincerely doubt that even if I used Sync for ten years, the value of the ad impressions I give would be worth A$35. I can basically buy a huge number of high-quality games for that amount.
For iOS the only one that can do swipe right to go back anywhere on the screen is LiftOff. It’s a crucial feature for me so there are sadly no alternatives.
I use Voyager. It gets updates fast but it looks like an iOS app. I rarely encounter any bugs here. Voyager also has mark read on scroll and disabling infinite scrolling (add a Load page 2 button) Sync is also good, it deals great with vertically long images and is a native app.
Sync has been really weird for the past few weeks, I stopped using it until there’s an update (which hasn’t happened before since several years ago when I started using it as a reddit app).
I’m currently on Boost, and it’s at least usable, though not super great, but good enough for now.
I have tried a vast majority of them and there were many I like some features of, but they end up falling to the way side. I always go back to using, “Connect” For Lemmy. Has every thing I want.
haven’t seen any comments mentioning connect yet, so that would be my recommendation. by far the most fully featured and smooth lemmy app imo and its my favorite. I’ve used most other apps but I always come back to connect because of all the different ways I can customize it and all the settings I can change that I simply don’t see in a lot of other apps.
